Software Problems of Mercedes Benz CLK350

2006 mercedes Clk350 convertible- about 45, 000 miles on it, bought as a used car in sept 2009. The headlights were left on all day and drained the battery. The battery was recharged. The check engine light came on and stayed on. I would drive about a block or two and the second time I put on brakes, the eps dash light would come on and the engine would die. The engine could be restarted and the car driven (including the freeway), but the eps light would come back on and kill the engine, after more braking. The car died, on the way to the stockton, calif. Dealer, as I braked on the off ramp as I braked and almost caused a serious rear end accident by the car following me. Additional, the side driver window that automatically drops down when the door is open, would not automatically go all the way back up when the door was closed. I took to the dealer for repair. I was told the windows needed re-syncronizing. That there was a miscoding in the computer, which needed a software upgrading. I asked why other mercedes owners were not informed, but got no answer. I also asked to have the manufacturer representative contacted, since the warranty expired only two weeks prior. I was told they would not, since the manufacturer would not pay for any computer upgrades. I was not told of any recalls, yet there appears to be a possible related computer recall bulletin for improper coding. The dealer did the resync and computer upgrade and the car is back to driving normal.
